49 I n stallat ion a nd oper at io n
The NAPV 175 is a three channel power amplifier intended for use in audio-visual systems.
The three channels provide power to drive a centre channel speaker and a pair of
either main front or surround channel speakers. audio line level input is via two 4-pin DIn
sockets - one for the centre channel and one for the main or surround pair.
The NAPV 175 should be installed on an equipment rack intended for the purpose and
in its final location before connecting cables or switching on. switch on the source and
preamplifier components, with the volume turned down, before switching on the NAPV
175. The power switch is located on the rear panel.
The NAPV 175 is heavy and care should be taken when lifting or moving it. Make sure that
the surface it is to be placed on can support the full weight.

The mains earth grounds only the case and the
electrostatic screen within the transformer and is not
connected to the signal negative. The mains earth must
always be connected to "ground" regardless of any other
equipment used. In order to avoid hum-loops the signal
negative of the whole system should be connected to the
mains earth in one place.

Once installed the NAP V175 is intended to remain
permanently powered up via its rear panel switch. If the
internal heatsink reaches 70°C due to prolonged running
at very high dissipation the mains supply will be interrupted
and the illuminated logo will go off until the amplifier has
cooled down. This may take up to thirty minutes.

49.3 Loudspeaker Cable and Connectors
Only Naim Audio speaker cable should be used to
connect a loudspeaker to the output of the NAPV 175.
Custom Naim Audio loudspeaker connectors are supplied
to make the connection and in order to comply with
current European safety regulations these should always
be used.
